Vancouver’s Dyatlove will be releasing their debut self-titled EP on Friday, May 29th along with a cassette version available from Coup Sur Coup Records that will feature an exclusive bonus track ‘Die! Kill! Pig!’. Before the EP officially drops, the band has teamed up with IDIOTEQ.com for its exclusive full stream HERE.

Recorded at Rain City Recorders with Matt Roach over the course of a few days, Dyatlove‘s sound is eclectic and diverse, at times morose and at other, heavy sludge. An EP that requires attention to take in, each song takes the listener on a ride with complex lyrical content aiming to grab attention.

Guitarist Rikki Jennings-Buford comments on the EP’s release:

“We are so stoked to have this EP finally be released. This is 2 years of our lives put into 4 songs with a treat coming soon! We feel like this is just the beginning of what we have to give and aren’t taking any time before jumping right back into it and writing more songs for you all to enjoy. We hope these 4 songs give you a good representation of our inspirations and where we could go musically, Id love to name a couple of bands right off the top of my head as far as who we sound like but I’m just not sure who they would be… and personally I feel like that is to our benefit! We feel like this EP is a good starting point for who we are as a band… right now. As life changes so do we as musicians and I’m sure we will have some left turns for you all!”

For fans of Converge, Deafheaven, Thrice, and Explosions In The Sky, Dyatlove‘s debut EP is available for pre-order HERE. The band will also be offering up a cassette version available from Coup Sur Coup Records that will feature an exclusive bonus track ‘Die! Kill! Pig!’.

Dyatlove is a passionate foray into the realm of morose singer-songwriter overtones set alongside heavy music. Longtime friends Sam Caviglia (guitar/vocals) and Rikki Jennings-Buford (guitar) bonded over bands such as Sonic Youth, PJ Harvey, and Pinback.

This array of influences drives the diversity of Vancouver, Canada’s Dyatlove, who don’t feel the need to pigeon hole into a particular genre. From sad songs to crushing sludge metal to 2-minute hardcore songs, Dyatlove conveys emotion and brings the heavy with drop A tuning.

Starting individually, the band works on riffs and ideas, eventually bringing them together to be fleshed out further. As full believers of limitless creativity, they don’t tie themselves to classic song structures. The lyrics come from many places, some are stories, some are personal experiences. There are songs about love of family, songs about loss, songs about anger and songs about struggles and addictions. Although varied in the subject matter they all have one thing in common, feeling.

Performing with the same intense passion and emotion that they bring to the jam space, Dyatlove intends to really connect to their fans, and show what their songs mean to them. With Rob Sheldrick (drums) and Justin Lacey (bass), the quartet delivers with an infectious openness and energy. Their self-titled, debut EP is being released on May 29, 2020 with the cassette version being released by Coup Sur Coup Records that will feature an exclusive bonus track ‘Die! Kill! Pig!’.

“The track (Empty Lings) is amazing and the band will quickly make you a fan if you like groups like Converge, Deafheaven, or Spotlights.” – Ghost Cult Magazine

“they’ve got one behemoth set of four savage cuts on this record that warrant a major repeating, and a lineup of tunes that command & demand your full attention. This whole experience met every hope & expectation I could have had, then smashed & surpassed them all – Dyatlove’s EP didn’t let me down for a solitary second – you need this record on your playlists this year.” – Sleeping Bag Studios

“Their sound is eclectic and diverse, at times morose and others bone crunchingly heavy. ” – The Sludgelord

“This is a collection of songs about love of family, songs about loss, songs about anger and songs about struggles and addictions all wrapped up in the confines of half an hour’s worth of music…” – Metal Noise

“Here is Dyatlove — post-metal / post-rock / sludge band from Vancouver, Canada, and their fresh song called “Empty Lungs”. It’s uncompromisingly heavy music. From the very beginning to the very end of the track it feels like I am in the engine compartment of the old locomotive. Guitars, drums, bass, and vocal creates incredible tension and pressure. I just can’t resist it, and it takes me to its dark world.” – Faeton Music

Vancouver’s Dyatlove are sharing the next single‘Empty Lungs’off their forthcoming debut self-titled EP due out May 29th. The track was the first song vocalist/guitarist Sam Caviglia and guitarist Rikki Jennings-Buford wrote together and what they felt the band was going to sound like moving forward.

Today, Dyatlove is teaming up with GhostCultMag for the track’s premiere HERE.

“I feel like it is classically the heaviest song on the EP with the the least amount of lyrics. At the time we really wanted the drone and doom to be the appealing factor and initially thought of having no lyrics on it at all. As we starting jamming it more we realized we are going to be a band with vocals and we should embrace Sam’s talents rather than dismiss them just because.” adds Rikki Jennings-Buford.Recorded at Rain City Recorders with Matt Roach over the course of a few days, Dyatlove‘s sound is eclectic and diverse, at times morose and at other, heavy sludge.

“I think this EP will be appreciated by more than just fans of heavy music. As musicians, we write the music that we want to hear and we aren’t fans of just metal. There is something for everyone who digs guitar-based music on this EP. We hope these 4 songs give you a good representation of our inspirations and where we could go musically.”

Lyrically it is about the pull of depression and not knowing how to get out of it and how it can take over your entire frame of thinking. Understanding you are hurting people but not knowing how to get out of it.

Vancouver’s Dyatlove have launched the pre-order for their self-titled debut EP due out May 29th.

In addition to the EP’s pre-order, the band has released their music video for the single ‘Fragile Fixation’.

The single is the result of Sam Caviglia (guitar/vocals) returning from a getaway with the idea for the song. It evolved into a track that is one of their more classically structured songs, but they felt it would be a song that most people would gravitate to right away.

From North Bay, Canada comes WITHIN NOSTALGIA and their gritty video for the single ‘Death Lifes’ Lover’ off their recent release “Conjuring A New Reality”.

Cold and haunting, the video shows off the band’s flair for combining styles, with a diverse mix of sounds ranging from sadness to uplifting all the while staying powerful and unique. As a live fan favourite it was chosen as their second single and ultimately a video. Going into the particulars of the track is front woman and songwriter Alyssa Broere:

“With its catchy hook and thought-provoking lyrical concept, this one is always a favorite for us to play as well. Amongst the catchiness and melody, the bridge brings forth a death metal feel that segues back into the melody.”

“Conjuring A New Reality” was released on October 5th of this year and was met with an overwhelming local response. Taking notes from bands such as Agalloch, Katatonia, and Fen; WITHIN NOSTALGIA creates a bleak melodic soundscape filled with honest emotion and aggression. The band says about the album:

“’Conjuring A New Reality’ as a whole covers much musical ground in terms of sound. Peaks and valleys emerge, evoking vast emotions. We want to create something that allows fans to expand their minds as well as think and feel life and all its highs and lows.”

Recommended for fans of post-metal, black gaze, and black metal, the video can be seen via its premiere on Bravewords HERE.

Nostalgia began in the summer of 2013 in Burlington, Ontario as a one-woman project inspired by the beauty of nature and dark emotion. Alyssa Broere wrote and recorded all instruments (drums, bass, guitar, and vocals) with only demo songs released. With relocation to North Bay winds of change began to set in and the addition of two members James Ahola (bass and backing vocals) and Kye Bell (drums), a live and full sound were created. In October of 2016, they released their first EP entitled “Visions”. Chad Hemmings joined on lead guitar for a fuller sound and as of January 27, 2018, the much-anticipated debut album “Internal Momentum Of Fate” came to fruition.

Following a brief lineup change, Liam Ahola and Sara Vi were added to the roster and Kye exchanged his drum sticks for a guitar. Nostalgia changed their name to Within Nostalgia as a new and more sophisticated sound was created. On October 5, 2019, their full length entitled “Conjuring A New Reality” was released into the world and is being met with great response all over the globe.

“Executing a production influenced by the delicate line of the Post-Rock adorned with atmospheric Shoegaze passages, the voices interpreted by the women are aggressive roars of black metal which are interspersed with soft voices giving harmony to the compositions etc. A release inspired by the beauty of nature that must be heard by fans of the genre” – El Abismo Del Metal
